Don't want to be the "Devils Advocate".

But that was against boys. I'm just grateful he will get a full season of VFL under his belt before he plays in 2013.

Because with the reputation that will preceed him in that 1st game he plays, he will be hammered like there is no tomorrow.

Typically "Welcome to the Big Time Jack"

I'm still looking forward to it and what he dishes back. It''ll be worth going a long way to see.

Yeah your right, but i see him taking it more the way Bull did, having a big enough body to dish some back in reality. Viney is solid, he doesnt have a mans body quite yet but he doesnt have a kids either. also he will have 1.5 preseason under his belt in reality.

It seems to me that some Melbourne supporters have kind of slipped into a welfare mentality where we think we haven't been afforded enough by the system. We want it all but don't want to have to pay f

Read between the lines folks. Effectively the club through Viney is telling both Gold Coast and GWS that they will call their bluff on pick 3. If either choose to take Viney at one or two then the MFC

If that is the case it's pretty simple we take him at 3. No drama at all.

That's the first footage I've seen of him playing and (even if it is against kids) I am really impressed. He seems to have a knack of finding a bit of space and time. He's clearly a terrier when he tackles and his disposal looks decent. It's also pretty clear that his understanding with the ruck was spot on. If he develops that sort of bond with big Max we'll be laughing for the next decade.

Devil's advocate?? More like muppet master. What kind of comment is that?? He was playing against players older than himself. Doesn't change his speed or commitement to the contest.

You really need to check what team you follow.

I watch the vision of his highlights for Vic Metro and recall the ripping game he played in the TAC Cup grand final and I know one thing.

Even though his team, the Oakleigh Chargers produced the most players selected from one club in all of Australia including three of the top 11 picks who went to GWS - Congratulations to Oakleigh Chargers Magnificent 7 - we have the best of the lot of them and he's still a year away from being drafted.

I'd like to put him in cotton wool for 12 months, give him the #31 jumper now and unleash him in round one, 2013, preferably against Sheedy's mob if he still has the gig.

Bring it on!

Reminded me of Boomer Harvey (whom I detest) the way he can extract the ball from a contest and find space...

More Daniel Kerr than Scott West.

Actually, I think he looks a bit Todd Viney. Very fierce at the ball and the player. Unfortunately, on the limited amount of vision available, his kicking action looks a bit that way as well. Hopefully they are addressing this now!

To those saying he's just playing against boys, anyone think of the fact that he was bottom aged and playing against the best of the best in the U18 carnival? Really we should be talking about how this young bottom aged kid was able to monster older opponents...

Joel Selwood-like in my opinion. Is it known if he will play Under 18's in 2012 or will he actually play some games at Casey?

I understood the club have to ask the AFL if they will allow him to play games with the Scorps..?

Clarification?

This is my understanding, we will or have asked, not clarification to my knowledge, would be great for him, Swallow did it for the GC so it better not be an expansion thing....

IMPORTANT QUESTION,

Does Jack have a brother? and if not why the hell not!!!!!

Brother's name is Max and is a couple of years younger.

Let's hope that he avoids the pressure of bang Jack's younger brother and if he wants to play football will be able to do so on his own name and ability without being compared with Jack.

God he reminded me of Scotty West in that #7!

Reminds me of Jack Viney

If he even wants to play football, might like soccer, would be nice if he can though

If MFC were to trade its 1st pick next year then another team before us on draft day picks Jack Viney, does that mean we can't pick him. And how do the compensatory picks for scully fit into this?

No once we nominate him as Father son he is ours, the Father son bidding takes place at the start of Trade week if someone below us on the ladder is willing to use there first round pick Jack will cost us our first round pick. The Compensatory Picks for Scully don't come into the picture at all for Father Son only you standard Draft picks. Due to the club committing to Viney the clubs below us on the ladder will make us give up our first round pick in the draft.

I love that intro (from memory) -"Jack Viney used to tackle so hard and so often that it was suggested - not so quietly - that he move up an age group. He was nine at the time."

It's in him, the hunger. Looking forward to 2013 already.

Watch out Mr Dunderfield!!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
